Samsung's smart watch leaks ahead of its IFA debut
According to sources at Venture Beat, you're looking at a prototype of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Gear smart watch. It was sent to a trusted partner, who showed it, and a demo video, to Venture Beat.
The watch is said to be about 3-inches diagonally, with an OLED display and a 4MP camera and speakers built into the strap. On the function side,...

Also looks like a Galaxy Note
As we approach Galaxy Note 3 launch day, a new leak has given us our closest look yet at the phone — or at least part of it.
ETradeSupply managed to track down what it says is the display assembly from the upcoming handset, which they say has a 5.68-inch diagonal measurement — in line with earlier rumors. Besides the obvious similarities to both the Galaxy S4 and...

LG's G Pad 8.3 teaser video didn't reveal much about what the upcoming tablet will actually look like. Fortunately, though, there's a leaked render doing the rounds showing a size comparison between what appears to be the new G Pad and its smartphone counterpart, the LG G2.
As the side-by-side image shows, the G Pad appears to employ a similar design language to the G2, with a curved rectangular...

Here's the first evidence that the elusive blue HTC One exists as more than just a press render. The shot above was taken by a Chinese factory worker and posted on the Sina Weibo social network, showing a slightly more vivid shade of blue than witnessed in recently-leaked promotional images. Besides that, it's an HTC One in blue — same design as the silver, black and red versions.
There's no...

Xperia Z, with a side of bezels
Thanks to a wealth of pre-release leaks, there's not much we haven't seen of the Sony Xperia Z1 (or "Honami") at this point. But now there's an official-looking render of the device to confirm what we've been seeing for the past few months -- a phone very similar in design to the older Xperia Z, complete with hefty bezels.
The image from Chinese forum Digi-Wo ...

Could yet another Motorola phone be headed for Verizon?
As evidenced by the recent LG Enact launch, Verizon clearly thinks there's still a market for smartphones with slide-out keyboards. And now it seems the flagship Droid line might get another QWERTY slider, if leaked images from China are to be believed. The shots above appeared on Chinese social network Weibo, and appear to show a slider...

It's been almost a year since we've seen a high-profile Android-powered QWERTY slider launch on a U.S. carrier, but it seems LG and Verizon might attempt to revive the form factor. According to Twitter leaker @evleaks, the "LG Enact," pictured on the right, is just "days away" from launch, and it'll pack a 4-inch WVGA display and a 5-megapixel camera.
As such, we're not looking at a high-end...

Mystery blob under camera
There's most likely a month or so to go before HTC's 5.9-inch One Max becomes official, but we've already seen enough evidence to suggest that the phone is real, and coming soon. Today a fresh image has leaked out over on Taiwanese blog ePrice showing the Max alongside its smaller siblings, the HTC One and One Mini. And while it more or less confirms what we already...

6.3-inch handset could be headed to to the U.S. carrier
The Samsung Galaxy Mega -- Samsung's 6.3-inch monster phone -- has been available for some time in Europe and Asia, and how it seems it could be heading to the U.S. A leaked render from the usually reliable @evleaks on Twitter reveals a Mega with AT&T branding in a dark blue color.
The Mega 6.3 packs reasonably quick, but not cutting...

Big screen, Sony G Lens, 20.7-megapixel 1/2.3-inch sensor
Another day, another set of leaked photos of Sony's upcoming flagship phone for late 2013, the "Honami" or "Xperia i1." Four fresh images have popped up on Chinese forum Digi-Wo, seemingly confirming a few details about the device's impressive rear camera. Branding around the camera assembly itself points to a Sony G lens and a 20.7-...

Hyped Television Commercial
HTC has been releasing a steady trickle of Vines and Instagram videos from its upcoming ad campaign, starring Robert Downey Jr. and an assortment of acronyms. Today the full version of the first ad has leaked on YouTube, giving us an (admittedly blurry) look at a one minute, 44-second cut of the first #HTChange commercial.
Between all of HTC's various vines and...

Sony 'Xperia i1' could be unveiled at pre-IFA press conference
It seems Sony will hold its IFA press conference on Sep. 4 (the same day Samsung's doing its thing), and one device that's likely to make an appearance is the Japanese manufacturer's upcoming flagship handset, know by its codename "Honami." The device, which is also rumored to go to market as the "Xperia i1," will reportedly pack a...

Large phone is large
We got our first look at what's probably HTC's big-screened One Max over the weekend, and now the source of that leak, Taiwanese site ePrice, is back with another comparative photo. In the latest image, the 5.9-inch HTC phone is pitted against the Motorola XT882, a device with a humble 4-inch display. As you can see, the difference in size is pretty ridiculous — the...

The LG G2 is almost upon us, and we'll be live from New York City this Wednesday for LG's big announcement event.

And the latest G2 leak, which came to light through a (now deleted) post on a Korean forum, shows us the the front face and back of the device.
The front is a familiar sight — all screen, with virtual...
